Natural. Active. Zen. NAZ

I usually start my day with a Yin Yoga routine from the comfort of my bed it. This simple habit gives the body and mind energy and balance for whatever the day might bring. 

Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on deep stretching and relaxation. Poses are usually seated or reclined, focusing on your breathing and typically held for 2-5 min durations. Yin yoga helps to balance the body and promote overall well-being by helping to releasing tension and improving flexibility over time. 

I usually practice Yin Yoga in the morning for 15 minutes, and right before bed time for about 45 min to decompress and sleep better, as it targets the deep connective tissues rather than the muscles. That’s why is so easy to practice. Here is my favorite Yin Yoga routines and how I practice it:
